Great Weekend at ADZPCTKO

We just returned from the annual “Annual Day Zero Pacific Crest Trail Kick Off”, affectionately known as ADZPCTKO. It was a pleasure to meet the Class of 2014 Pacific Crest Trail Hikers along with many section hikers and prospective thru-hikers. Our vendor area was a beehive of activity — we received a lot of good feedback and took in a number of very good suggestions that we will add to our apps. Thanks to every one who stopped by, and we look forward to meeting new people next year.
